The European foldable smartphone market is hitting a strange inflection point as the segment appears to be currently flatlining. However, amidst this modest growth, a clear success story is emerging: Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

New details are emerging about Google's next flagship phone the Pixel 10 Pro. Prototype images and leaked specifications provide an early look at what could be in store from the upcoming device.

The Google Pixel 10 series is slated for an official unveiling at the Made by Google event on August 13, 2025, according to an exclusive report from Android Headlines. This event is expected to initiate pre-orders for the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Shipments and in-store availability for these new devices are anticipated to commence on August 20, 2025.

All evidence is pointing towards the Pixel 10 launching much earlier than expected and much earlier than in prior years.

As a long-time enthusiast of Google's Pixel smartphones, dating back to the Pixel 2 XL, I've witnessed a significant evolution in these devices. Having owned a considerable number of Pixels over the years, I've noticed the gradual disappearance of certain software features and design choices that I truly miss. In this article, I'll delve into my top five Pixel features that I miss the most.

With Google’s I/O event coming in just a couple short weeks, and likely bringing Android 16 along with it, there was some question as to whether or not Google would deliver a May update for Pixel devices. Somewhat surprisingly, Pixel devices are indeed getting a small patch with a handful of bug fixes just before that likey ANdroid 16 release. Here’s what’s new and what to do if you’re on the 16 beta.

For years, the promise of a true desktop experience powered by Android has lingered, often feeling like a half-forgotten experiment. While Samsung's DeX and Motorola's ReadyFor have offered functional solutions, Google's own efforts to build a robust desktop mode within Android have remained in the realm of developer tools. As I discussed in my article and video back in March, this feature has technically been present since Android 10 in 2019, but its utility for the average user has been virtually nonexistent.

As the stable release of Android 16 draws nearer, Google has released Android 16 Beta 4 to users in the beta program. At this stage, the changes won’t be massive, but there are still several that are worth pointing out. Here are the top 5 that I’ve noticed.

As part of the April Pixel Drop back on April 7th, Google announced a set of new features for their Gemini Assistant. Normally, when a users triggers Gemini they simply speak to their phone and they receive a written response than can also be played back using Google’s new text-to-speech technology - which does sound very believable.

There’s also Gemini Live though. This option, hidden behind an icon on the bottom right, allows users to begin a very natural conversation with Gemini. You just talk to it like it’s a person. You can even interrupt its response to ask a follow-up question or divert the conversation somewhere else.

The April update is now live for Google Pixel devices. This update is should arrive relatively soon on Pixel 6 through Pixel 9 series devices. Here’s what’s new:

A couple of days ago I wrote a piece here going over a recent report from Android Headlines that predicted a series of price changes for the Pixel 10 Series of devices. These rumors are now being cast very much in doubt by some unfortunate facts.

When the renders for the Google Pixel 10 Series of phones first leaked there was one detail that stood out above the rest. The base model Pixel 10 quite clearly featured a periscope telephoto camera which it had never had in the past. That telephoto camera had always been one of the primary ways Google differentiated the base model from the Pro and Pro XL models.

Because of this, there was a ton of speculation. How would Google differentiate the Base from the Pro now? Would the Pixel 10’s telephoto be a downgraded version? If so, how bad will it be? Now, thanks to Android Authority, we seem to have answers to these questions.
